The environment surrounding 30 of 31 carriers of carbapenem-resistant (CRAB) was contaminated by CRAB. The environmental CRAB loads were similar whether carriers were identified only by surveillance cultures (nonclinical carriers) or also had positive clinical cultures. Screening to detect and isolate nonclinical CRAB carriers may be important to prevent CRAB transmission.
31例耐碳青霉烯类鲍曼不动杆菌(CRAB)携带者中有30例周围环境被CRAB污染。无论携带者是仅通过监测培养物确定(非临床携带者)还是临床培养物也呈阳性,环境中的CRAB载量相似。筛查检测和隔离非临床CRAB携带者对于预防CRAB传播可能很重要。
